That's a good idea, the coffee urn for a sharps container. I use a laundry soap bottle. Actually, that's a lie. I rarely use one at all. Bad diabetic, bad! But when I do use one, it's a laundry soap bottle.

I use an empty laundry detergent container (It smells nice everytime I open it) :) but a big coffee container would allow for a much bigger opening to throw everything into (and probably a great coffee smell too. Great idea!!!

I love my insurance company because they send us sharps containers free as part of our plan, but they seem to run out of space very quickly in my house--currently, there are used lancets and strips scattered in a HUGE pile around my father's one. He's due for getting one in about a week, but the laundry soap bottle is a great idea!

I use old RX bottles for my lancets and strips. I like the coffee and laundry soap ideas but the RX bottles fit on the shelf so nicely. Between myself and my 93-year-old mom we have plenty....dammit. :)
